3Claims. This invention *relates' t'o a carpet weaving frame; thf general object of the invention being to' provide -a fram'efhaving spaced pairs of bars thereon around which strips of material can be wound and then sewn to a'pair of strands, the pairs of-bars facilitating cuttingthe strips between the bars of :each pair, after which the strands arefsewn 'together to form a carpet or rug with the c'ut portions of the material exm tending upwardly from the base formed by the strands.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which a Figure 1 is a top plan view showing the invention in use.

Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the bar assembly detached from the frame.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the frame.

In these drawings, the base forming frame is shown at A and is formed of rod stock and includes the inverted U-shaped end portions I and 2, the lower ends of the limbs of which are connected together by the side bars 3 and adjacent the lower ends of said limbs each end member has its limbs connected together by a cross piece 4, the cross piece of the end member 2 having the upstanding hooks 5 connected therewith. These hooks 5 receive a piece of cord which is 40 passed around the material so as to keep the material from slipping over the frame. The bight of the end member 2 is formed with the four eyes 6 while the bight of the end member I has the spaced upstanding projections 1 thereon adjacent its center.

A bar assembly B includes the four spaced longitudinally extending bars 8 and the side bars 9, each bar 9 being associated with an outer bar 8 and slightly spaced above said bar 8 so that the two bars 8 and 9 form a space between them which forms a guideway for the scissors or other cutting means shown in dotted lines in Figure 1. Each pair of bars 8 is preferably formed of a single piece of wire bent into U-shape with the bight ID at one end of the assembly and adjacent this bight the inner bar 8 is bent to provide the offset portion l I, the two offset portions of the two U-shaped members being welded or otherwise connected together as shown at l2. This arrangement provides a'short shank which'fits 5 between the projections! as shown in Figurel and a short cross bar" I3 is fastened to. the shank at the under portionthereof and rests against the outer side 'portions'of the projections 'l'to prevent longitudinal movement of the rod assembly as shown in Figure 1. The other ends of the rods 8 are bent downwardly as shown at I4 to fit in the eyes 6 and each bar orrod 9 has one end bent downwardly and welded or otherwise fastened to an outer bar 8 as shown at l5 and its other end is bent upwardly and then outwardly and then formed with return bends and the extremity of which is fastened to the outer bar 8 as shown at Hi, this bent portion forming an angle shape upright l1, these two uprights being spaced slightly from the bight portions l0 and are arranged to the rear of the end member I when the rod assembly is placed in the frame.

As will be seen the rod assembly B can be placed on the frame 4 and removed therefrom and when in place on the frame A the bent ends [4 will be engaging the eyes 6 and the short shank at l2 will be engaged between the projection 1.

The strip S is wound around the bar assembly as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and strands S are passed along the space between the inner bars 8 and between the upper and lower portions of the wound strip S and the adjacent portions of the strip are stitched around the two strands as shown at IS in Figure 2. The lower portions of the strip are brought upwardly and stitched to the lower portions of the loops H). The strands are held against movement by wrapping portions of them around the uprights IT as shown in Figure 1. After a length of the material has been placed on the bar assembly and is stitched to form the casing l9 around the strands scissors C, shown in dotted line in Figure 1, or other cutting means are passed along those portions of the strip of material which extend between the outer rods 8 and the rods 9 so that these rods act as guiding means for the cutting member.

Thus the strands and cut strip material will form lengths of rope-like parts having lengths of the strip material extending therefrom and these rope-like parts are sewn together as shown at the left of Figure 1 to form a rug or carpet.

It is thought from the foregoing description 55 that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A carpet making device comprising a supporting frame, a rod assembly supported by said frame and including four parallel rods and a pair of side rods, said side rods being spaced above the outermost rods first mentioned, said rod assembly being adapted to have a strip of fabric wound thereover, and said wound strip being adapted to be cut by a cutting member passed between the side rods and said outermost rods, the innermost rods forming a space for receiving strands to which the central portions of the wound strip are adapted to be connected and means at one end of the rod assembly adapted to receive loop portions of the strands.

2. A carpet weaving device comprising a frame including upright end portions, one portion having eyes thereon and the other a pair of projections, 2. bar assembly including four spaced bars having the ends at one end of the assembly bent down into engagement with the eyes, two of the center bars being brought together to form a short shank which is received between the projections, side bars arranged above the outmost ones of the first-mentioned bars and said side bars each having one end bent downwardly and connected with an outermost one of the firstmentioned bars, and upstanding angle members formed on the other ends of said side bars, said side bars with the said outermost bars forming spaces for receiving a cutting implement.

3. A carpet weaving device comprising a frame including upright end portions, one portion having eyes thereon and the other a pair of projections, a bar assembly including four bars having the ends at one end of the assembly bent down into engagement with the eyes, two of the center bars being brought together to form a short shank which is received between the projections, side bars placed above the outermost ones of the first-mentioned bars and each side bar having one end bent downwardly and connected with an end portion of-an outermost one of the firstmentioned bars, to form spaces between themselves and said outermost bars for receiving a cutting implement, and upstanding angle members formed on saidside bars, a cross bar attached to one end portion of-the frame and upstanding hooks carried by said cross bar.
